I am looking for the best way to use Hyper-V on Windows 10 with only wireless Network Adapter connected.

Question

So, I have read a few posts about Hyper-V and wireless networking in Windows 10, however, the posts are dated, so I want to know what is the latest tried and true way to use Hyper-V in Windows 10 1809++ and one built in wireless network adapter, or along with a USB wireless network adapter, however no wires are possible in this situation. What is recommended best way, I know you can use internet connection sharing, and network bridges. I'm looking for the best way to do it, and any information on the best settings in Hyper-V also, as I am doing a dissertation and research project where I need to get the best possible configuration for using multiple vms on a laptop with no wires. Please point me to anything that you guys can offer thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

You’re right, We could utilize ICS in the Hyper-network deployment for your VMs connection, please refer to the following article demonstrated sharing network connection with ICS in Hyper-V.

Furthermore, in Windows 10 Hyper-V, there’s a new option that we can setup virtual machines’ network connection by using NAT. This means that your virtual machines can use a private IP address and still access Internet resources. NAT Switch provides Internet access to the VM without creating External Switch (linking the switch to physical wired or wireless adaptor). We can read all about how to set this up here:
